The Big Picture When world-building is discussed in science fiction or fantasy stories, Dune isn't one of the first examples that immediately comes to mind. However, this isn't to say the world of Arrakis is completely lacking in that area as the novels show a rich history within the narrative. This is especially since there are events that neither of the two Denis Villenuve films touched upon, namely, the Butlerian Jihad.
Release Date March 1, 2024 Director Denis Villeneuve Cast Timothee Chalamet , Stellan Skarsgård , Florence Pugh , Zendaya , Rebecca Ferguson , Javier Bardem Runtime 166 minutes Everything in ‘Dune’ Stems From the Butlerian Jihad Despite the crucial history to the world in which he lives, the Butlerian Jihad is barely mentioned by Paul Atredies during the main saga.
The Butlerian Jihad Serves a Clear Narrative Purpose Close Writing a science fiction story taking place in the distant future naturally presents clear challenges, namely having to predict that future. Films like Blade Runner or The Terminator show that trying to predict technological advances in the future might appear laughable in retrospect when the actual timeline catches up with you, hence why the distant future is often used.
